"Well, it seems like everything is running pretty smoothly here," Ha Yun says. And by smoothly, she really means that everything here seems a little chaotic, which is what she would expect from this place.

Zencho was a bit out of it, as he spent the night with ezcessive drinking accompanied with spiritual revelations.
He held his horns, trying to shake it off. "Umm. Yeah. Whatever that I need to do I will do. Because of the cosmic waves. Yeah?"

"Nothing comes to mind, but I'll send anyone look for help your way," Suree offers to Chispa.

"Let's continue our patrol," Ha Yun says. "And maybe get something to eat because I'm starving."

Zencho yawn. "I am fine with eating. If it is where fate take us."

Always a little on the hungry side Seeboe's gnomish eyes light up and he grins. " Yes let's continue our exploring, I mean patrolling. " He lets out a childish giggle at his mistakes.

"Okay, let's go wander the discal and see if we see any food worth trying. The Elemental Plate was good, but perhaps something different. Has anyone tried San Citlán-ian food? San Citlán is close to Atagua where I spent so many of my years. I'd love if we could find some of their food here."
If you have a good passive insight, you might sense that Vulpi has motives beyond just food.

Searching around, the party does spot a dwarven woman running a San Citlán food cart. She seems to be serving a variety of different dishes, and they all smell quite enticing.

Is the food cart like a take it and go place, a take it and sit at a bench, or some other style? Are there other patrons of the food cart around talking? If there seem to be other patrons around talking, then Vulpi will whisper to Seeboe in Gnomish and Quirapu (rapidly switching between the two languages so it is difficult for anyone who doesn't know both languages to follow along): (put into a spoiler so you can choose if you want to read it since you may or may not know the languages, click to show) {Spoiler} "Hey, the reason I came here is because I am concerned for Atagua, I fear there are signs of a coming invasion. I don't expect to find any information here but it might be a good place to start looking. Can you keep an ear out for any information that could relate: Does San Citlán currently feel safe themselves? How does San Citlán feel about Atagua, to them are we: friendly neighbors that share a mutual history of Xaujan occupation, valuable trading partners or perhaps hoarders of resources that are easier to obtain by conquest, weak neighbors as they are beginning to strengthen? Is there any talk about conscription?"

It's a take it and go sort of cart, although there are some benches and tables nearby where people can eat or rest. Currently, there are three people in line to get food. A deep gnome who is ordering some tamales, a half-elf is next in line, and a tiefling is third in line.

Are the people in line talking about anything or are they just standing and waiting? ... If people don't want this food cart that is fine by me, but if we are eating here then:
If they have Chilaquiles, then Vulpi will take nachos con chilaquiles y queso otherwise nachos con frijoles y queso.

If the cart has any good al Pastor Tacos or Carne de Res Tamales, Seeboe is game to give the cart a try.

The people in line aren't talking, but there are some folks speaking over at the nearby benches while they eat.
The party gets in line, and when they reach the front, Vulpi orders nachos con chilaquiles y queso for 1 silver piece, while Seeboe gets some tacos al pastor for the same price.

Vulpi tips 2 copper pieces, then goes to sit at a bench near people -if any people look like they are from San Citlán then Vulpi will sit at a bench adjacent to them, motioning for Seeboe to join them. Vulpi will then try to overhear what they are talking about and begin eating. Perception: lWNpECKX1d20+21d20+2

Vulpi does, indeed, spot a pair of folks from San Citlán speaking to each other in their native language of Citlanés. They are an older man and a young girl; possibly a father and daughter, as they do bear a passing resemblance to each other. The girl speaks excitedly, and although Vulpi does not speak Citlanés, they do recognize the words 'San Citlán' spoken at one point.
Translation: "Papa, will we be able to return home to San Citlán during the upcoming Night of the Remembered Festival? Aunt Rosa said she was going, and I've always wanted to attend." Chispa knows that the Night of the Remembered is a sacred night when the dead may return to the land of the living and visit their relatives.
